Who was the first to believe that all planets except Earth orbit the sun?

I'm not aware that any observer EVER argued that "all planets except Earth" orbited the Sun. The first person we know of to argue that the Sun was the center of things, and that the Earth orbited the Sun, was Aristarchus of Samos, a Greek astronomer and mathematician about 2400 years ago.


What significant scientific conclusions did aristarchus an astronomer reach?

Aristarchus of Samos was one of the first Greek astronomers to propose a heliocentric model of the solar system, with the Sun at the center instead of the Earth. He also accurately estimated the sizes of the Sun, Earth, and Moon, and calculated the distance to the Moon using lunar eclipses. His work laid the foundation for later astronomers, such as Copernicus, who expanded on the heliocentric model.


Who theorized that the planets revolved around the sun?

Nicolaus Copernicus was the astronomer who theorized that the planets revolved around the sun in a heliocentric model. His work "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" laid the foundation for modern astronomy.


Who was the first person to say that the earth travels around the sun?

The first person known to have proposed that the Earth travels around the Sun was the Greek astronomer and mathematician Aristarchus of Samos in the 3rd century BCE. His heliocentric model was not widely accepted at the time and it took many centuries for the idea to gain widespread recognition.
